Just about every media outlet in the country is fawning over lebrons performane and rightfully so, he had a great game. However, (and not to be THAT guy) I have to say it, i've seen harder contested drives to the rim at my local park. Just something about seeing 2 and 3 defenders in the paint standing there while lebron dunks it, irritates me. It's not even about lebron, anybody really. This is supposed to be playoff basketball right?

You dont have to tackle him, but a hard foul just to send a message, like this shit ain't gonna be easy.

What I don't understand why the guy gets so much credit. The guy drives in the lane like a fucking freight train. You only have two options to try to stop that, take a charge (not likely), or foul him. He is a great player, but he dominates because he gets fouled so much. Pacers are in trouble now.

I was thinking to myself who on this pacers squad is going to lay the wood on one of these guys. David west is a little bit of a wildcard. Nope, seemed like he just hung out, took a few 17ft jumpers, and proceeded to get punked by shane battier.

Bynum when asked if he would be back next year: I don't care. I'll play for anybody.

Yeah, Mitch, let's build the franchise around that guy.

Beach...you can't be serious. Other than Dwight Howard, he's practically the only other true center in the league. Supremely skilled big man and he's only getting better. He's worth keeping. He's still a youngster. He'll eventually mature and cut his little tirades out. He does have a bit of a temper.

Yeah I'm serious. Have you been paying attention to him this season? He had a great year and stayed healthy for the first time, but his attitude absolutely sucks. And he was inconsistent. He could dominate every stinking game if he had the heart and desire.

I'd trade him for Howard.

Pau needs to go too. I'd try and get D. Will from NJ for Pau.

And I still want to punch Stern in the mouth over the Chris Paul veto.

Still wouldn't trade him. Too much upside. I understand what he said recently in the press but wasn't he asked that right after the Lakers were eliminated? He's still immature. Hopefully he grows out of that.

I'm just saying...he certainly didn't hurt the Lakers chances in winning back to back titles a few years ago.

He didn't have a lot to do with the Lakers winning titles a few years ago. That was Kobe and Pau. Bynum was hurt.

I agree with you that he has tremendous upside. I just doubt we ever see him get there. This is the same kid who dismissed Kareem, who was hired by the Lakers at their expense to mentor/tutor him. If you watch him during post-game press conferences and read his other comments, he really doesn't care. He doesn't have that "fire in belly." That's why he disappears so much. He could be almost as dominant as Shaq if he showed up every game. I doubt that happens.

Give me the guy who will bring it on both ends of the floor every night, even with his limited offensive game (Howard).
